No newspaper coverage of the DC rallies against the health care bill, but there is NOW newspaper coverage of DC rallies about immigration reform? Here on the front page! Very selective news coverage!

And I am cynical, too, that some editor said "This is the next important thing up, push it to the front!"

Amazing! Invaders demanding an Amnesty - not favored by most Americans - get more positive coverage from the American media than patriotic Tea Party Americans opposing a law not favored by most American.

They were predicting 40 thousand to show up so you can bet that number will be the minimum they report.

Send the police out and arrest those breaking the law.

Tens of thousands invading our borders and a stand down order from the U.S. government?

Corporations that run the political parties want the cheap labor and Dems know they’ll vote Dem when they are ‘deeemed’ legal.

“Invaders demanding an Amnesty - not favored by most Americans”

And those ILLEGALS will all have voting privileges come next November. I’d put money on it. If 55% of the American public didn’t want the health care travesty, you can bet that no matter how many US citizens don’t want amnesty, it will be shoved down there throats in like manner.

The MOOCHERS are getting restless.

They thought Obama would have nationalized the entire economy and turned over our real estate, savings accounts, 401K’s and IRA’s to them by now.

Amnesty WILL be passed before November so the democrats can be re elected after their vote for the health care travesty. The fix is in.
